JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
Given below are two statements :
Consider the following reaction

- A Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- B Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- D Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}}=2280\) is for HCHO \(\mathrm{k}_{\text {eq }}=2000\) is for chloral Both data is given in clayden and warren book. \(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}}>1\) because HCHO and chloral are more electrophilic.
